One of the most popular stones for metaphysical jewelry, Lapis Lazuli is a combination of two languages and words: Latin lapis for stone and Arabic azul for blue. It is also from the Persian word lazhward meaning blue.
Lapis has been used to for adornment for as long as humans have been decorating their bodies. It has a long history with the Egyptians as a cosmetic. The powdered stone was also used as a paint. It continued to be used for ultramarine blue paint until the eighteenth century.
Ancient Egyptians believed that by meditating on the color of the lapis lazuli they could touch the robes of God.
The meaning of lapis lazuli signifies deep power, wisdom, and inner strength. Another meaning of lapis signifies the development and use of psychic abilities, higher insight, and decision making. An alternate source describes this meaning of lapis as opening your mind for creative use, expanding your viewpoint, and getting in contact with your inner power.
Lapis lazuli is one of the gemstones for the seventh and ninth anniversary jewelry.
Lapis is wonderful jewelry to give as a gift as some traditions consider it one of the gemstones of friendship and truth.
